Original Acrylic Painting 24 x 36 Framed with custom leather and brass corner insets designed by the artist. My sister Veronica is the model for this painting. She is Apache and Dine (Navajo) My parents adopted her when she was 9 years old. She has modeled for other paintings for me and also for other artists.Early one morning, we waited for the sun rise to break on the horizon and I had Veronica pose by resting her head on fur skins and we positioned a dream catcher so that the shadows would play across her face. The Butterflies are coming through to light of the sun and landing on her hair. It is said that they spider web like design of the dream catcher will filter out the bad dreams and only let good dreams pass through the hole in the center. When the sun rises in the morning the bad dreams are burned away. One of my Native friends says that the strongest dream catchers should be given as gifts, not purchased for oneself. I have made many dream catchers from the desert willows that grow around our house in New Mexico.
